Description & Building Alterations

Construction of the new building at 229 East 2^nd Street was completed in 2010. It was designed by Arnold Montag with AM/PM Design & Consulting. The building is six stories high and contains five apartment units with a community facility on the ground floor. The façade is of brick and glass with large floor-to-ceiling windows spanning the width of the building on each floor.

The 1980s tax photo shows that a modest one-story garage type structure once occupied the lot, although no records indicate when it was demolished. A six-story tenement once existed on this site, based on the 1916 Bromley map.

For organizational consistency, the old lot number has been retained on this page, but please note the lot has since been re-numbered 7505.

What is the Building Blocks Project

What does a building mean to someone who lives there? A person who lives on the block? In the neighborhood? In the city? This site presents a wealth of historic information gained from GVSHP’s architectural research survey about the buildings located in the East Village.

The site explores the area generally considered today as the East Village: from a northern border of 14th Street to a southern border of Houston Street, Avenue D in the east to 4th Avenue/the Bowery to the west. You can explore the information about the blocks and buildings featured here in two ways.

Pick a block. Maybe it’s yours, or perhaps it is just your favorite place to shop, grab a bite, or just people watch. Then explore the buildings that make up that block. Or take one of the many guided tours on the site, curated by a collection of organizations and experts from the neighborhood. See how they experience the neighborhood. Then tell us what the neighborhood means to you. The site’s comments section allows you to open a dialogue with others who feel just as passionately as you do about the East Village.
